School Green Maps - Annecy - France

Following the Green Map of the Annecy area (Rhône-Alpes, France), a 10 schools and youth groups have developed local, educational Green Maps. The projects were lead by the FRAPNA Haute-Savoie, with support of the City Council of Annecy and Ekoacteurs (GRAINE). The project involved training the teachers and group leaders, then spending time working with the groups of children and classes to select areas to map, identify, adapt and apply the Green Map icons and themes. Each Green Map fits in with an ecocitizenship project developed by the school. Several of the schools have decided to continue the project into the next year. The environmental observations made in the field will be passed on to the City Council. The Green Maps produced were presented during Sustainable Development Week events I April 2010 (see photos in the PDF file). For further information: www.frapna.orgread more »
